Folks,
What have you all found to be the best bulbs for the headlights and fog lights to put out the clearest, brightest light pattern? Also are there any heating problems/lens discolor with installing higher lite/power bulbs in the enclosed light areas of the 2005 Mustang?

I don't know how to link to previous post , but there was talk about nokya bulbs.....per the following (post preview #424954)
Here is the response I received from the vendor of the Nokya bulbs. Interesting read:
Mark,
The Nokya Arctic White H13 bulbs are a Stage I bulbs, which means they
use a stock wattage draw and don't produce a significant heat increase.
Many cheaper aftermarket bulbs use a higher wattage bulb to obtain
increased light output, however Nokya, and all of the aftermarket bulbs
that we carry use a more efficient gas mixture, and a Xenon-Halogen
blend is able to increase light output while drawing stock wattage, and
significantly increasing light output.
As with any aftermarket lamps, it's a good idea to check see how they
react with your system - if you turn them on and check immediately how
the wires a few inches back from the headlights feel you'll know right
away if it's too much for your stock headlight harnesses. I have yet to
hear our H13 customers experiencing melting harnesses or blown fuses -
but if it's something you're concerned about it's a good idea to check
the wires just to have peace of mind.
If you look on just about any web forum, where aftermarket lighting is
mentioned - there's always at least someone who says to stay away and
NEVER purchase aftermarket lighting, because it's too hot for your
system. I can tell you that after selling several thousand Nokya bulbs,
and MTEC bulbs, we have had 2 customers tell us that the headlights
damaged their headlights from overheating - and both were using plastic
aftermarket headlights that are made with much less lower quality than
OEM materials.
Hope that helps!
